Jewelled Gin

Luxist.com has reported that Bombay Sapphire Gin has produced Bombay Sapphire Revelation which is described as a "collaboration between the drinks, crystal, art and design worlds," Bombay Sapphire Revelation is a collection of 5 bottles shaped like enormous jewels, all the same except for their caps – each of which is decorated with diamonds and sapphires.

The crystal is Baccarat, Garrard is the jeweller, and Karim Rashid is the bottle designer. The entire collection is worth $1 million, but each bottle (priced at $200,000) will be displayed separately at one of 5 airports around the world (New York, London, Dubai, Sydney, and Singapore) starting around the end of March with proceeds to benefit The Smile Train charity. And along with the beautiful Revelation bottle the new owners will also receive a years supply of Bombay Sapphire gin.
